The Democratic States of Compowomie is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor Gerephim with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.466 billion Compowomen enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sertusfrus. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Compowomian economy, worth 241 trillion shiels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,963 shiels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compowomie's national animal is the rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Compowomie is ranked 33,926^th in the world and 1,094^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,883.41 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
